I am part of this generation as I was born in 1970. Our parents were either hippies or only one went to work for money each week and one stayed home to take care of the children. I think our generation deserves much more respect than we receive as we were in the beginning times of all this technology and changes in careers and what was expected of women today. Yes Generation X had exploration of trends and drugs and music too as we were a descendant of Generation B, "Baby Boomers". It was through our generation that we shaped society with our independence and beginning a better tomorrow.

Generation Y was born roughly around 1977-2002 and they were rearing to go with their changes! This is a generation of intellect regarding financial matters while watching layoffs and the economy making them very savvy when it comes to money and savings. 401 K and retirement plans in place and savings for their future are something this group was aware of. This group in my opinion had a lot of advantages considering their parents were probably both professionals and the computer was part of their daily life along with other great technology. There were also many more activities for them growing up as the world got broader. This group deserves respect as they are excellent with money and also very computer literate as well. The only issue I see is that most of them are our bosses and respect should be mutual.

Generation W comes here with a boom on health and is anyone born around1980-2000. This group is very health conscious and unlike the other two groups less likely to explore trends and drugs as the body and mind is a primal focus here.

Let us not forget the Baby Boomers, "Generation B" anyone born around 1946-1964. Some would refer to this group as aging hipsters and yet they deserve the most respect of all. This generation started the great music, computers, trends, and beginning of a lot of what we see today. They worked at one job most of their life and raised their family with their one wife! This is a very loyal generation that we are not alike here with many morals.

In conclusion of all this my goal is to let us all see how each generation is connected to each other and each has special gifts to offer. We as generation X will be taking care of B and Y as far as our taxes are fed into this system and generation Y will be taking care of us. There is respect in age no matter what we do both with the younger generations and the older ones and no matter how you slice it we are all in this together.

401 k pans are more likely to be important to generations y due to their money concious attitudes.
